Plan around leases and the 1st

Six in ten Silver Spring homes are rented, so the end of the month is the busiest time to move here.

  • Wall calendar with a day circled

    End of every month

    Leases turn over on the 1st and the big buildings only have so many elevator slots. The last days of the month go first.

  • Sun

    Summer in general

    June through August is the busiest stretch of the year. Book as soon as your dates are set.

  • Schoolhouse with a bell tower

    Before school starts

    Families moving for Montgomery County schools fill late July and August.

  • Price tag

    Fridays and Saturdays

    Always more expensive than weekdays. A midweek move saves money and gets the better elevator slot.

Grand total$885.10

Aisha B. was moving from a two-bedroom near the Silver Spring Metro to a new place in the same ZIP code, with a toddler, a loading dock at each end and a lease ending on a Saturday.

  • The challenge

    A lease ending on a Saturday

    The busiest day of the month to move.

    Lease end
    Saturday, month end
    Dock slots left
    1, 7–10 AM
    Alternative
    The Wednesday before

    The lease ended on a Saturday at the end of the month, when every truck in Montgomery County is booked. The building had one dock slot left that morning, 7 to 10. The flat rate for the Wednesday before was lower, and the landlord agreed to an early move-out.

  • The challenge

    A dock shared with the dumpster

    The truck and the trash pickup at the same time.

    Dock
    Shared, rear alley
    Trash pickup
    Wed 8 AM
    Elevator
    Freight, padded

    The building's dock sits in the rear alley next to the dumpsters, and Wednesday is trash day at 8 AM. A truck at the dock at that hour would have to pull out mid-load, or the hauler would skip the building.

  • The challenge

    A nursery to deliver first

    The crib had to be the first thing off the truck.

    Crib
    First off the truck
    Nap time
    1 PM
    Toddler
    At grandma's until 3

    With a toddler coming to the new place at 3, the nursery had to come off the truck first: the crib, the changing table, the play kitchen and the rocking horse. The crew takes a crib apart for the move but does not put it back together, so the family needed its parts early enough to build it before bedtime. Everything else could wait.

  • The challenge

    A long carry at both docks

    76 to 150 feet from the dock to the truck, twice.

    Carry, old building
    76–150 ft
    Carry, new building
    76–150 ft
    Heaviest pieces
    Two at 350 lbs

    Both buildings load from a dock, and at both the truck could get no closer than 76 to 150 feet. All 74 items made that carry twice, including a 350-pound massage chair and a 350-pound reclining sofa. The estimate listed both carries, so they were in the flat rate.

How we did it

Our ApproachWednesday Instead of Saturday

Moving three days early saved money, got a quiet dock and had the nursery ready before the toddler came home.

  • Our approach

    Wednesday, priced lower

    The landlord agreed, the price dropped.

    Booked
    The Wednesday before
    Price level
    Economy
    Flat rate
    $885.10

    The crew leader asked whether an earlier day was possible. The landlord agreed to a Wednesday move-out, the building had a 10-to-1 dock slot that day, and Wednesday was an Economy day. The flat rate for 74 items came in at $885.10, below the Saturday price for the same move.

    Our crew took the crib apart in the old apartment and bagged its hardware. The nursery was the last thing loaded and the first thing off. For liability reasons movers do not reassemble cribs, so the crib's parts and hardware were in the nursery by 1:30 for the family to put together. The changing table was assembled by 2:15, before the toddler came home at 3.

    $885.10, dock and all

    Trash day worked around, no extra.

    With the dock slot at 10, the trash pickup was long gone. Three movers and one 20-foot truck did the move in one trip. The estimate came to $885.10 with no deposit, with both docks and both long carries in it, and the move was done by 3.
